No full textA. tembulica (Hewitt, 1926) Distribution. Queenstown region of the Eastern Cape province, South Africa (Bauer 2014 j) (Fig. 4). Remarks. Although considered poorly differentiated from A. amatolica and A. nivaria by Branch et al. (1988), this taxon has never been synonymized with any of its congeners.Published as part of Jacobsen, Niels H.

Afroedura hawequensis Mouton & Mostert 1985
No full textA. hawequensis Mouton & Mostert, 1985 (Fig. 3 A) Distribution. Restricted to the fynbos habitats in Hawequa Mountains of the southwestern Western Cape Province, South Africa (Bauer 2014 c) (Fig. 4). Remarks. This species is the sister to all remaining congeners. It was previously considered a member of the A. africana group (Mouton & Mostert 1985). The species was previously listed in the South African Red Data Book as “Restricted” (Mouton 1988) and is currently considered as Near Threatened under IUCN assessment criteria (Bauer 2014 c).Published as part of Jacobsen, Niels H.

Afroedura karroica Hewitt 1925
No full textA. karroica (Hewitt, 1925) (Fig. 3 D) Distribution. Karoo of the central-western Eastern Cape and adjacent areas of the Northern and Western Cape provinces (Bauer 2014 d) (Fig. 4). Remarks. Both A. bogerti and A. halli were previously treated as subspecies of A. karroica (Loveridge 1944, 1947; Wermuth 1965; Kluge 2001).Published as part of Jacobsen, Niels H. G., Kuhn, Arianna L., Jackman, Todd R. & Bauer, Aaron M., 2014, A phylogenetic analysis of the southern African gecko genus Afroedura Loveridge (Squamata: Gekkonidae), with the description of nine new species from Limpopo and Mpumalanga provinces of South Africa, pp. 451-501 in Zootaxa 3846 (4) on page 470, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.3846.4.1, http://zenodo.org/record/25049
Afroedura marleyi FitzSimons 1930
No full textA. marleyi (FitzSimons, 1930) (Fig. 5 B) Distribution. Coastal plain of Zululand, Kwazulu-Natal inland to the Lebombo Mountains and through Swaziland to southeastern Mpumalanga, and possibly adjacent Mozambique (Bauer 2014 f) (Figs. 4, 6). Remarks. This species was previously considered a subspecies of A. pondolia (Onderstall 1984) until elevated without comment by Branch (1998). Our samples come from a relatively limited area of the species’ range and we suspect that deeper sampling would reveal greater substructure within A. marleyi.Published as part of Jacobsen, Niels H.
